An award for a rising sportsman... By Peter Petterson I read this mornings Dominion Post newspaper here in Lower Hutt in Wellington. There was a pull-out supplement for local regional secondary school elite sports achievers in the various summer and winter code categories. I was sitting in the waiting room at the local tyre shop waiting for a replacement tyre to be put on our car to get a new warrant of fitness. I was thumbing through the paper at the shop when I came to the athletics section and surprisingly saw one of my grandsons nominated for the awards. If he is successful it would be a great achievement considering he is only 14 years old and competes against older boys. He competed this summer in javelin and shot-putting; winning the former event against older boys in the Under 16 years grade. His nomination is a feather in his cap even if he fails to be selected this year. An award is waiting around the corner if he sticks with his sports. A champion in the making if he persists in his chosen field. Contributor's Note A champion of the future perhaps.
